The family-friendly Tony-winning Disney musical centers on Jack, a rebellious newsboy who dreams of being an artist far away from the big city. When a publishing giant raises newspaper prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack and his fellow newsies band together in protest with the help of a new reporter hungry for her first story. Their joint mission forces New York to wake up to the power of “the little man.” The production features music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman. The book is by Harvey Fierstein.
